Jalen Suggs is wearing a headband around his neck
He starts with it like that and then puts it on within the first few minutes (idk why)
If the Magic were a movie cast, Suggs wouldn’t have a script. His improvisation is better than anything we could write for him.
Lmao literally
Bro is both magic and jazz at the same time
Wildcard bitches!
you catch him trying to dap up the front row when he got subbed out 😂
He should do a jersey swap with Gradey.
Shout out my South Minneapolis brethren!
He doesn’t need a script, the script reads him
Maybe he doesn’t start sweating for a few minutes and only moves it up when he does
Maybe he only sweats in his neck for the first few minutes, and then the sweat moves to his head
Makes sense, heat rises.
Hard to argue against the science
Maybe he likes friction on the shaft to start, but on the tip to finish
This was a millenial hooper thing 20-25 years ago, I wanna say Darius Miles did it.
Jalen Suggs, my culture is not your costume
Darius miles, god damn haven’t heard that name in a long time. RIP jail blazers 🙏
You gotta make sure you’re watching The Perfect Score at least once a month.
north jersey - early 2000s - we weren’t allowed to wear any head gear (hats, bandanas, headbands) during school hours - even the mini (sporty style) headbands or bra straps. so you’d have your fitted tucked into the back of your pants, bandana hanging out your back pocket - and either your headband around your neck or wrapped around your wrist - accessorize nostalgia overload
I wear my headband around my neck until I feel like I need it.
Bros a pioneer
Mind games. Those few seconds of their opponents trying to figure out if he’s in a turtleneck can turn the tide of the first quarter.
It’s masterful.🧐
My best guess is that it somehow calms him at the start. He can go too fast for his own good. Then once he hits a rhythm he puts it up. Idk though😂
Cool choker
Choker? I hardly know her
For some reason this reminds me of Hogger on wow
Wow, nice hogger.
Hogger fucked me up as a male human priest back in ‘04 never forget
I go back on classic wow on a human rogue to fuck him up every now and then just out of spite.
The black belt for dick sucking, as we used to say
lol For real
Just needs a leash
He is now the Iverson of this generation
Inverson
Big time early 2000s behavior. Sweatbands anywhere and everywhere
Until the nba bans it, he can only aspire to iverson
…why?
I can’t even figure out a semi-legit functional reason to do it. Maybe he’s covering up an enormous hickey?
vampire bite?
He’s the mf in the zombie movie who hides the zombie bite
No guys, really I’m fine. I’m just shivering and acting weird because I have low blood sugar (rubs neck to hide obvious bite mark)
Suggs watched Sinners in prep for Oscar season
Way too early to prep for Oscar season. What an amateur.
Damn, wtf were he and Neon up to last night???
For reference (since twitter is banned): https://www.reddit.com/r/NBAEastMemeWar/comments/1ot26h8/unexpected_disneyworld_crossover/
i’m voting hickey
It helps prevent extra sweat from reaching his nipples which causes friction and ultimately bleeding.
I’m definitely not speaking from experience from having to come out of a game in high-school for bloody nipples, I’m simply theorizing
Holy shit, I was gonna say he is cold. But you right. He did something to hide.
Remember that movie Orphan where the girl wears ribbons around her wrist and neck >!to cover up the scars of being in a straightjacket!<
This is my favorite theory. Like they just let him out of the asylum for game night.
Just preparing for when he has to play against Draymond.
He does it until our first point is scored
If he doesn’t, his head will fall off
He did it when they played the Pistons but put in on properly after a few minutes.
His head will pop off like that green ribbon story
Maybe he likes the feeling of being choked by a really weak guy?
Black belt in Dick sucking
Gotta keep the sweat off your jersey
Probably lost a bet
Tik Tok challenge. Can you look like an idiot.
David stern wouldn’t let the incorrect wearing of Accessoires fly (pretty sure it’s technically a rule)
I wanna say a couple years ago they made somebody stop wearing their headband with the NBA logo upside down.
Yep, Rondo
Man I hate to tell you this but I’m pretty sure that was about 15 years ago
Jimmy Butler I think?
Jimmy is the player I think of when the NBA banned the ninja turtle style headbands
Jrue Holiday
Wes Matthews
A bunch of the Sixers were doing it, I definitely remember Mike Scott and Jimmy, maybe Tobias Harris too. Then they changed the rule and banned it, and sapped all their power. I blame the Kawhi shot on the ninja headband ban.
Kyrie too.
Deaaron Fox also
Silver will let you smash his wife because you know… player empowerment.
I’ve been surprised every game that the refs let him do this.
Dennis Rodman would like a word
And he always moves it back to its normal position after a minute or so.
Someone needs to ask him what he’s waiting for each game.
You gotta work up a lather before you throw it on your forehead to get a good seal. Going over the head is no good because you are pushing the sweat down into your eyes, so you gotta pull it up from the neck.
I actually think this is a great answer
You do?!
He said it with conviction so I now believe him as well.
This sounded like made up bullshit but then I realized I do the exact same thing with my headband before I go for a run. I just keep it around my neck and wait until I’m like partially through my first mile and then pull it up because it does stick better when my hair is already damp. 😳
Otherwise with the shape of my head, the back will ride up and it will pop off during my run which doesn’t help keep the sweat from my face 🤣
Anyone who runs or plays sports knows exactly what he’s doing lol
Genuinely hilarious to see so many people not understanding in a sports sub.
He’s been doing this for a couple of games now, not sure how long but he wears it around his neck until we score our first point.
Ohh, that’s neat. Reminds me of a team where their fans would stay standing until they made their first bucket. Can’t remember which team tho
Nuggets do this
Thunder do this, might be most teams tho idk
Timberwolves do this. I remember one game they went on a super long run without scoring to start the game. The fans were standing for a couple minutes of game time
Yep could just be a dumb ritual too, just like the countless ones other players do but he just keeps it going til the 1st point like Nuggets fans do (One ngl, even if 20k ppl and not a player lol)
Keeping your lymph nodes warm the new performance enhancing meta
“Choke me, daddy”
Ayo chill cuh
Fuck me daddy
How will this affect Lebron’s legacy
Kinky
He has a hickey
If you’re trying to keep attention off the fact you have a hickey, this is perhaps the worst way to do it. You can cover up a hickey with some rudimentary make-up, or just a skin-tone bandaid and no one would think anything.
That only works until he bumps into somebody, ask Jaylen Brown.
Slut
Bringing the sub to our sub.
Let people do stuff
The future is now
He’s been doing this for like the whole season for some reason lol
The magic playing their best game of the season so far, and of course it’s against my Knicks on the 2nd of a b2b
Sad shit, hopefully the 2nd half is better for us🙏🏿
Yea the Magic look amazing right now, and the Knicks look super stagnant on offense rn. Wouldn’t be surprised if you guys pop off in the second half though, without Paolo you still have a good shot
I suspect it’s heavy legs, and Mike brown changing the scheme cause of that. There’s less movement and actual plays being drawn up, a lot more Brunson isolations or kat ISO’s.
And Magic are up 20 at halftime. Let his man keep his choker on all season
No one knows what it means but it’s provocative.
Uh, it’s called a choker you uncultured swine
Looks fierce. Serve it girl.
Team twink wears a choker for ‘pre-game locker room warmups with the boys’
Nothing to see here
Thats where his hairline is
AJ Brown for the Eagles did the same thing this past weekend. Some new fashion statement probably.
It was a prop bet. Jalen Suggs going down /s
Return of the snood
He’s been doing this all season. I’m surprised the refs let him play like that. Most of the time he moves it back to his forehead, but he has played with it around the neck.. definite safety issue.

Boi
Hickey
Hiding the hickey
It’s a subtle hint to the Mafia and the bookies, choker round the neck indicates that he is choking so take all unders 🤣
bro thinks he’s starting a trend
The deadpan title is killing me
Neck band
Bro is in 10th grade hiding a hickey
trynna squeeze out some follicles from the base
We got NBA players wearing chokers before GTA6
K
Weirdo? sweaty neck? Guess we will never know. Until someone asks him postgame.
Edit : It came to me after. It’s Hickeys. Duh.
“Protect Ya Neck”
Nah that’s a neckband
Daddy chill
he just watched the reze arc
This is disgusting
Raptors are finally vindicated for passing up on him for Scottie
Jalen suggs is a dullahan confirmed,
Bro said fuck the hairline
Akshuly I started this look when I was 4
He entering his baddie era.
Jim McMahon drip.
He put his hicky in incognito mode
Hickeygate
The source of his power
I’m losing it why would he do this 😭
New tattoo? or a cut that he does not want exposed
gotta protect yo neck
Bro needs to shave that head he look 60 years old
This is off season tier news
Thought that was Evan fournier for a second
don’t kink shame
Well that suggs
he swings THAT way! 😂
He’s not even 25 and he’s going bald. Oof.
Big Tiddy Goth Point Guard
He’s just corny that’s really what it is. He’s been doing this all year. He’ll wear it around his neck and then at the first stoppage of play he puts it on.
He finally cut his hair
What losing Hailey Van does to a man
Ts needs to be on his head goddamn that hairline is cooked
If he’s trying to distract us from that hairline and bald spot he is doing a terrible job at it lol
Maybe his neck gets cold ☹️
Looks like he’s wearing a turtle neck
And that’s how neckband was born.
For everyone that doesn’t (understandably) watch Magic games, he puts it on at tip off typically. This season it seems like he pops it on his head after a minute or so haha
Come home brother
wait hes cooking. someone tell austin reaves to do it as well
Herb behavior
Did this against Detroit as well and thought it was strange
They all think they’re so cool lmao
Someone’s got a hickeyyyyy
I used to do that when I was in middle school. I’m 32 now.
That’s hard.
We used to be a proper country.
Eddie Robinson did that
This would drive me up a fucking wall. I hate when things touch my neck this is pure torture
He’s about to get subbed out
Horrible look lmao
Deion did this in the NFL
Makes shot blockers misjudge the angle.
Is he stupid?!
Mans went from hiding the hairline to hiding the neckline. wtf
Holy shit I haven’t watched him since the cut.
He took his head hair and put it on his face
His neck is cold clearly
It’s a sign you’re a top
Does he also wear neckbands around his wrists?
Hailey Van Lith must’ve told him to do it as an act of good faith for her to take him back
A lot of people don’t know this but he is actually from the hidden leaf
he’s BEEN doing that and i love it
Him and his girl broke up and look at dude
This exactly why as a lightskin male in society, I disown my shade of skin smh it be your own people
Probably covering the vampire bites
This just in Jalen doesn’t know what a headband is.
Edit: never mind he figured it out.
Cool. I use crest toothpaste
He did this against the Celtics too lol
It’s called fashion, sweetie.
“Sports Choker”
he looks like queen elizabeth
He have a Tracheostomy hole?
